In  two weeks, the hospital’s entire IT and telecom network was designed and implemented, with the firms working to staff around-the-clock IT engineers on site to collaborate with remote engineers and project managers.

Other IT partners involved in the project include Evolve IP, Ignyte, RapidScale, Spectrotel, Synoptek and Trustwave.

This is just another example of how technology we use every day is helping us fight COVID-19 and keep organization’s online.
